    Our own worst enemy [Merge]

    in Colts Football

    Every team has to be better at delivering the 'knock out' punch. We do not have exclusive rights on it. I understand we could have done better on some plays, but the criticism being chucked at this team and our coaches is getting out of order by a section of this forum. From now on, If we don't have blow out wins with mistake free football in every game, I'm done with the Colts forever.

    I can see why you feel the way you feel in your last sentence here by some of the stuff I have read on this forum. Although criticism is what fans do. I love our Colts and support them profoundly. But as a fan, when I see a silly mistake or a bad playcall I feel impassioned. Its what "I" do. I respect your opinions and if I dont agree, well thats what fans do...

    My point is he forced a throw when taking the FG is ok at that point of the game.  If Bradshaw catches it, I'm not sure he scores.  Our Red Zone play has been exceptional, I don't take issue with that. We have struggled big time in the Red Zone last year.  But we have had costly mistakes late in games and its already cost us one game.

    Thanks Smash Mouth, apparently we are'nt one of the forum homers...

    I not sure how you can misconstrue calling people stupid or your somewhat disproportionate responses so far in the thread. You seem to see things in a very black and white fashion... you took exception to BHC praising the Ravens D because in your mind it meant that he was saying the Colts didn't make any mistakes which was not at all what he was saying. Good D's bring pressure (and I'm not just talking the pass rush) that can lead to mistakes. Same as a bad O can bring poor execution. There can be a a mix of the two you know?

     

    A lot of people are using the wonderful position of hindsight to 2nd guess the play calling. As I asked another poster yesterday out of the 80 plays please tell me which you feel were examples of bad play calling?

    So you think the playcalling that resulted in the Eagles loss was not a good example? Let me guess, it was the superior Eagle defense thats not getting enough credit from a black and white Colts fan....

     

    And while you're reading peoples minds, explain to me wth you're talking about concerning BHC. I know the Ravens play great defense and put pressure on thier opponants, its what they get paid to do. My point is not what the defense caused but what our own mistakes caused. (see Eagles game) Surely this forum is'nt full of Superior know-it-all Mods and a handful of wannabes sniffing what they had for dinner yesterday?

     

    Everyone has an opinion, just because it is'nt yours does'nt mean its wrong. I think you responded to this quote with a black and white response IMO. I have read several posts here that agree with my opinion just by the things they have said. Not everyone see's things your way pal......

    I actually agree with you here although I don't want this to be misconstrued as being negative.  The champion that we are striving to become, if we want it to materialize we have to choke the throat at every opportunity.  A win is most certainly a win, but just as a matter of principal we have to come up with more touchdowns out of all those many times we are in the red zone.  If not touchdowns at a minimum it should be field goals instead of game killing turnovers.  We almost had an Eagles game dejaveu there but we kept clawing and pulled it out.  

     

    If we have several opportunities to break the game open, then by all means let's be the Grim Reaper.  The Ravens D is certainly the real deal, but I think we should have beaten these guys by at least 14 or more with all the trips in the red zone.  It's no complaint just something to improve on for future contests like the one on Thursday.

    Krunk it does'nt matter what you post here, it will be misconstrued by a know-it-all. I thought a forum was a place to discuss concerns and optimisms. Seems everything here is fairy dust and butterflies. Dont you dare agree with me and my thought/concerns... Give credit to those Eagles for causing the bad playcalling that took away the 2 possession lead late in that game, and credit to those Ravens for forcing Bradshaw to fight for inches that mean nothing with a FG and a 2 possession lead with seconds left in the game.

    You mean like every team should? If every team cleaned up their mistakes, every game would end up in a tie. That's part of football. Enjoy it for what it is for christ sake. A win is a good thing, and we'll never be perfect.

     

    Are you related to 1ydandacloudofdust?

    Are people really that stupid? The Colts handed the Eagles a win with bonehead mistakes/playcalling. Why call a passing play when running the ball and kicking a FG puts them up 2 scores late vs the Eagles? Yesterday was a similar scenario to the Eagles game. Why is Bradshaw twisting and turning fighting for extra yards when the clock is ticking late and they can pretty much seal it with a FG?  Did I say EVERY team should be perfect? Is it possible for EVERY team to be perfect? Obviously EVERYONE is human so the answer is conspicuous.  And BTW, I believe game/clock management would make your "every game would end in a tie" statement risible.

    So if the Raven didn't make all their mistakes, they should have won? I find it incredulous that so many people on this Forum can only see the game from one side.

    We are all blowing trumpets for our D, why not respect the Ravens D, rather than blame our Offense? I don't see many criticising the Ravens Offense, instead we are praising our D. Our opponents are allowed to play well and stop us. It's in the Rules you know.

    Pitiful? Gime me a break. Great win against a tough opponent.

    So the Ravens defense made the Colts make all those mistakes? Let me get this straight, everytime our Colts make a mistake it was because of the opponant? You sir are a delusional Debbie Downer. What does the opposition have to do with boneheaded mistakes and poor playcalling? Get over yourself. I find it incredulous that you are so narrow minded to believe it is the "other teams" doings when our Colts players/coaches make mistakes that effect the outcome of the game. I don't suppose you know what the slang term "shoot yourself in the foot" means eh? Sure the Ravens D made a game of it, by capitalizing on our mistakes. And yes they play great defense, but to say they are the cause of the bonehead mistakes/ bad playcalling is just plain ignorant. You said "So if the Raven did'nt make all their mistakes, they should have won?" No I did'nt say that, the thread title clearly states what I said, don't put words in my mouth. I am merely stating that the dumb mistakes and bad playcalls as well as bad calls are making the games closer than they should be.

    Credit to the defense

    I knew the Defense would show up today.  The secondary played well, and I knew the Ravens offensive line was over hyped.  Great game by our boys today!

    Definately the defense won this game. Pretty much shut the Ravens offense down. Steve Smith dress today? :strong:

    Man if we could just clean up some of the dumb mistakes. I mean c'mon man! Seems every game we have a chance to blow it wide open only to let the other teams back in it or even blow the game. Just look back to the Bronco's and Eagles games. Nearly blew this one with the fumble late..

    Clean it up and we are 5-0

    Seems alot of "other" teams fans forget this saying until they get brought back to reality by the underdog. All the talking heads in the media are homers IMO and I love it when they have 3000 excuses as to why the teams they picked did'nt win. Anyone else enjoying this circus of unanimous voting today for some of these games? :blueshoe:
